An alien race, from far away in the Delta Quadrant, makes
the first of several visits to Earth, taking over two generations
for the trip each way. They discover a primitive civilization
living on glacial ice fields. The aliens give "a genetic
heritage" to the primitive humans, and leave, returning several
times over the centuries. The humans develop an alien bone
structure in their foreheads, which slowly loses prominence over
the millennia, as the tribe occasionally interbreeds with other
humans.

The descendents of these human-alien fusions, known as the
Inheritors, migrate across North America, and serve as the
ancestors of many tribes. Some of them preserve the story of the
Sky Spirits, who were their ancestors.

On Earth, additional humans cross the land bridge from
Asia into North America. They interbreed with The Inheritors, who
are already in the Americas, and in many tribes, dilute the blood

order to hide the fact that the shapechangers are behind the
Jem'Haddar, they declare an empire they name "The Dominion"
and fade into a shadowy myth of the "Founders." The Dominion,
does not attempt to impose government on individual
planets, but begins a slow process of working to control commerce
and militarization between worlds.

Birth of Surak, who teaches that logic is the only answer
to the constant war on Vulcan. For the following century, those
who believe in logic and those who resist wage a cold war,
gradually becoming more violent. The followers of Surak develop
an almost evangelical zeal to convert save the planet by
converting all others hers to logic. In support of this quest,
they use a device known as the Stone of Gol, which amplifies and
directs violent emotions back at their originators.

On Ventax II, planetary leaders claim to have signed a

In the Gamma Quadrant, the T'Rogorands conquer a large
volume of space, including the Skrians, whose legends say they

In the Delta Quadrant, an expedition of the Naceen
species, from another galaxy, accidentally damages the ecosystem
of Ocampa. They guide the humanoid Ocampa natives into an
underground refuge, and provide all of the water, food and power
the Ocampa need. Two Caretakers, a male and a female, are left
behind to permanently fulfill the debt to the Ocampa. The Ocampa
people typically live only 9 standard years, then transform into
energy beings. A standard generation is considered to be two
years. The Ocampa species is telepathic, but loses much of this
ability over the next 1,000 years, due to disuse. (The
Caretaker, et al)

According to legend, Klingon warriors kill the gods of the
Klingon people, because they have become too troublesome. This
may also be the result of the gods not protecting them from the
invading Hurk.

1400

A group of Vulcans, later called "Romulans" by the
Federation, oppose the teaching of logic by Surak. They leave
Vulcan with the goal of establishing their culture on a new
world. The Romulans are "written out" of Vulcan history by the
followers of Surak, and later generations do not learn of
them. (Balance of Terror, et al)

Due to their sublight ships, the Romulans make several
stops on habitable worlds along the way before they finally
settle in the double star system designated Romulus/Remus by the
Federation, in sector Z-6. Their new planet, also known as
Romulus, is considered to be by far the most beautiful of the
worlds they had visited.

One faction of the spacefarers, known as the D'Brun,
separates from the main body of the former Vulcans, remains in
space and constructs small outposts on several worlds.

On Vulcan, as war subsides, great strides are made in
technology and space flight, however as the centuries pass, more
and more emphasis is placed on ethical and moral development of
the species.

One or more Bajoran "light sail" ships leave the Bajoran system, and visit Cardassia, and possibly other worlds. The
ships are accidentally accelerated to warp speeds by a tachyon
stream near the Denorious belt. How the ships survive the
acceleration without a warp field or inertial compensators is
unknown. At least one Bajoran ship crashes on Cardassia.
Similar ships are used for the next seven centuries, at
least.

1805, October

The British sailing fleet, commanded by Lord Admiral
Nelson, destroys the joint fleets of France and Spain in a clash
known as the "Battle of Trafalgar." On the night before the
battle, Nelson tours his flagship, the HMS Victory, under the
impression that it may be a hopeless battle. The British fleet,
however, is victorious and Nelson dies gloriously, knowing that
the battle is won. Although the British win, Napoleon honors
French Navy Captain Picard for valor.

The defeat at Trafalgar leaves Britain in a commanding
position on the high seas, able to attack the coast of Napoleonic
France at will. The French public is not told about the
seriousness of the defeat, and the war continues until 1814, when
Napoleon surrenders. He returns to power nine months later, and
is ultimately defeated at Waterloo by forces under Wellington in
1815. Pursued by his own French people, as well as most other
nations, he surrenders to British forces aboard the HMS
Bellerophon at Plymouth, and dies in 1821, of cancer, possibly complicated
by exposure to arsenic fumes, on St. Helena. (Historical Reports)

1821

Famed English poet John Keats dies, at age 26, the victim
of an entity calling itself Anaya, possessing the ability to

without benefit of spacecraft, and roams the galaxy in search of
creativity.

1930

Leonard McCoy arrives from the future via the Guardian of
Forever, followed by Kirk and Spock. McCoy is incoherent as the
result of an accidental drug overdose. Edith Keeler dies in
New York in a traffic accident. Had Kirk saved her, she would
have been a world known leader of the pacifist movement.

The Star Trek timeline begins to diverge, possibly resulting from
the death of a homeless man in an alley, killed by a phaser lost by
McCoy. The divergence will not be generally noticeable for almost

Pacific ocean, to gather intelligence. The flight is disguised as
a round-the-world publicity stunt. (The 37s) Earhart and her navigator,
Fred Noonan, disappear while searching for Howland Island, largely
because she does not understand proper use of her radios for
direction finding. A massive search by air and sea fails to find
any trace of the aircraft. (Historical Reports)

An alien race called the Briori kidnaps 50 humans from various
places on Earth, including Amelia Earhart minutes before her

The Supermen begin constructing a handful of the prototype
DY-100 class sleeper ships, possibly near orbiting space stations, which they control. The ships are named after famous
historical colonies on Earth. Resistance to the rule of the
supermen is strong, and they have increasing trouble holding the
countries they have conquered. (Implied in Space Seed)

Headquarters and Starfleet Academy.

1996

The last of the Supermen is overthrown.

First manned expedition outside the Solar System--Khan and
81 followers escape Earth in the sublight DY-100 class SS Botany
Bay, in suspended animation. Rumors abound, but there is no authoritative
proof that one of
the DY-100 ships is missing (or if there is, the information is
suppressed).

Thousands of Supermen embryos are found and placed in a secure and classified
research facility (The Augments).

United Nations is reorganized in the wake of the Eugenics
Wars. All former totalitarian states become democracies. The New
United Nations becomes a stronger force in government
than the former organization. (Space Seed & Encounter at Farpoint)

systems would fail because they could not handle a year not
beginning in "19." (Historical Reports)

2000

The DY-100 ships designed by NASA and built by the
Supermen are allocated for exploration of the solar system.
They use cryogenic technology, placing space travelers are in
suspended animation for most of the journey.

Voyager Six is found in the Delta Quadrant by units of a
world of computers and machines, where intelligent organic life
no longer survives. Voyager's simple "collect information
and report back" programming appeals to the planetary intellect,
which begins building a giant spacecraft to carry Voyager back to
Earth. However Voyager's programming, damaged by the black hole,
leads it to believe that it is destined to merge with its
creator. (TMP)

At the end of December, Shannon O'Donnell meets Henry
Janeway at his bookstore in Portage Creek. Long a holdout, he
agrees at the last minute to sell his store, allowing
construction to begin on the Millennium Gate, a half-mile-high
habitat that serves as a model for the first human colony on
Mars.

The old Millennium ends on the night of December 31,

2001

The new Millennium begins on the morning of January 1,
2001.

2003, January 22

The final feeble signal is received from Pioneer 10, 82 Astronomical
Units from the Sun. A subsequent attempt to contact the craft on

class.

Death of Jerry Robinson, of natural causes. (Speculation, inferred from Questor)

2022?

Second Manned Mission outside Solar system -- long thought
to be the first. (Referenced in The Royale as a mission prior to that of the
Charybdis.)

2024

Ireland and Northern Ireland are unified after decades of
terrorism against the British government in Northern Ireland.

In every major American city, "Sanctuary" districts exist,
in which homeless people live. The areas have minimal security,
health and welfare services, with thousands of people crowded
into a small area. In San Francisco, 10,000 people live in a 20
square block area. People enter the Sanctuary district on the
promise of help finding jobs, but government workers are unable
to locate jobs in anywhere near sufficient quantities.

Benjamin Sisko, Julian Bashir and Jadzia Dax appear in San
Francisco as the result of a transporter time-travel accident in
the year 2370. Sisko and Bashir are picked up by authorities, and
taken to Sanctuary district A, because they have no papers. Dax
obtains papers and searches for her friends. In a street fight,
Gabriel Bell is killed, helping Sisko and Bashir defend
themselves. Sisko realizes that history says Bell will be
instrumental in later events.

On September first, residents of San Francisco Sanctuary
District A riot, to protest the lack of jobs. Six government
workers in the Sanctuary Processing Center are taken hostage by
Bittle "B.C." Courage and his followers. Lengthy negotiations
begin, lead by Sisko posing as Gabriel Bell, and Michael Web,
seeking closing of the Sanctuary Districts, and reinstatement of
the National Employment Act. Although access to the computer nets
are cut off by police, the residents hack access, and present a
series of pleas for jobs by reasonable-sounding internees, as
millions of people watch.

On the orders of Governor Chandler, however, National
Guard troops storm the Sanctuary district, freeing the hostages
and killing many residents guarding the hostages, including Web
and B.C. Sisko is wounded protecting the hostages, but escapes. A
grateful former hostage plants Bell's ID card on a corpse, so
history can record his death.

Sisko, Bashir and Dax are recovered to the year 2371 by
Kira and O'Brien.

The investigation of the Sanctuary riots triggers a major
reform movement, and begins the steps toward eliminating want and
homelessness.

Third Manned Mission outside Solar System. The ship, the
Carybdis, is designed based on the experiences of the 2022
mission, and is commanded by NASA Colonel Steven Richey.
Charybdis looses contact with Earth. The mission is ambitious
enough to carry planetary shuttles and an extensive library,
including the trashy paperback novel "The Royale" by Todd
Matthews. (The Royale)

2040

Opposing military juntas conduct a limited nuclear war on
Earth, later called World War Three, and Colonel Green's War,
causing nuclear devastation in some areas.

After the war, civilians temporarily control the military with
drugs. Recovery from the war is rapid. Limited space travel
resumes quickly with spacecraft and personnel which had remained
in space. Large tracts of land on Earth are dedicated to park
land. (Encounter at Farpoint)

The war is observed by the Sky Spirits who find no remnant of
the Inheritors. They conclude that humans are violent, and have
no respect for the land.

The Vulcans make first contact with the Arconian species, which has
just achieved space flight. The Arconians are very suspicious and
the Vulcans soon discontinue their attempts at cultural exchanges.
(Dawn)

2059

Zefram Cochrane is awarded his PhD in Physics. His research leads him to
formulate a theory of warp space and a warp space drive.

2060

Zefram Cochrane obtains control of an abandoned missile
site in Montana, with an active missile still in place. He begins
an effort to implement his theories by rebuilding the missile
into a spacecraft that uses his warp drive theories. At this
point in Cochrane's life, he is materialistic, drinks heavily and
chases women. He hopes his warp drive experiments will make him
rich. (First Contact)

2063, April 4

Unknown to history, a Borg scout ship appears from the
future and bombards the Montana compound where Zefram Cochrane's
team is preparing to launch the first human warp drive
spacecraft. The USS Enterprise, NCC-1701E also appears from the
future and destroys the Borg ship. At the last second, a
contingent of Borg beams to an Enterprise lower deck and begins
assimilating the ship and crew. They also begin building a
communications device capable of reaching the Borg of 2063 to
summon them to Earth. Data creates a computer encryption code
that prevents the Borg from using the Enterprise computer. A task
force from the USS Enterprise assists Cochrane's team to repair
Cochrane's ship, the USS Phoenix. (First Contact)

Part of the Borg scout ship
crash lands in the Arctic. Nanoprobes preserve two drones, ready to
reactivate, if they are evern thawed out. (Regeneration)

2063, April 5

Data is captured by the Borg Queen to obtain the computer
encryption codes for the Enterprise computer. Picard orders the
evacuation of the Enterprise, but remains on board to locate
Data. Together they defeat the Borg queen by rupturing a plasma
conduit. With the Borg control center destroyed, the Borg are
defeated.

Zefram Cochrane's ship, the Phoenix, breaks the light barrier
briefly, attracting the attention of a Vulcan survey ship that is
passing through the Solar System. Altering its plans, the ship
lands at Zefram Cochrane's compound in Montana. First warp
mission outside Solar system--to Alpha Centauri, lead by Zefram
Cochrane. Cochrane is age 29, but looks a lot older.

The Enterprise crew is recovered, the Vulcan ship does not
detect the Enterprise as it returns to the future, and presumably
Cochrane's workers are sworn to secrecy. (First
Contact)

The first ambassador from Vulcan to Earth is Solkar, great-grandfather
of Spock. (The Catwalk) Due to vast cultural differences, the
relationship between Earth and Vulcan remains strained. The Vulcans
watch over Earth but are reluctant to provide technological assistance,
feeling that the human race is not mature enough for unlimited access
to interstellar space. (Broken Bow)

Earth soon sends out a few manned ships, operating no faster than warp
one and two.

class ship encounters a distress signal and salvages a life pod with
nobody on board. Shortly after crewman George Webb begins acting
erratically, damages the ship's engines and launches himself into
space in one of the lifepods of his ship. "Boomers" tell that when
the subspace static is low one can sometimes still hear his signal
among the stars. (Strange New World)

European Hegemony is formed--a loose alliance which is the
first step toward world government.

Earth slowly becomes involved in interstellar trade, using
ships capable of warp 1-3, taking months of years to travel
between star systems. Some ships are operated by families and
paid crew. Children are often born and raised between stars.
(Broken Bow) At some point, the Earth Cargo Authority is created.
The ECA licenses casho ships and either schedules or monitors
operation of the ships. The ECS (Earth Cargo Ship)
Horizon is build as part of a fleet of "J-Class starships" with
engines designed by Zefram Cochrane. He reportedly signs the
inside of the engines of each ship personally. Using a
tug and cargo module approach, the Horizon can often make
no better than Warp two, depending on how heavily loaded
it is. Other Class J ships include the Constellation. (Horizon)

Other starships from this era that have been named in various
episodes include Valiant, Essex, Archon. While they have been
simply called "starships," they may also have been boomers.

An elderly Zefram Cochrane speaks at the dedication of the Warp Five
Complex after which construction begins on the first Terran ship capable
of Warp Five. There are hard feelings that the Vulcans are not providing
more assistance and advice. Designer Henry Archer dies before the ship is
finished. (Broken Bow)

Not long after, Cochrane departs Earth in a ship by himself and never
returns. His disappearance is considered to be the missing person
case of the century. He leaves behind a family. There are rumors that he is
testing some new kind of warp drive. (Future Tense)

2122

At the request of the Ackeron government, Vulcan sends hundreds of
surgically altered to infiltrate criminal factions. They are successful in
overthrowing the criminals, but 20 Vulcans refuse to return to Vulcan and
continue living in Ackeron society. (The Seventh)

Circa this year, an elderly Zefram Cochrane is found by "The Companion" and
taken to Gamma Canaris N, where he is rejuvenated. He is a much
different man from the one who broke the light barrier in 2063.
His contact with the Vulcans and other species has caused him to
become less materialistic. After The Companion rejuvenates him,
his appearance changes significantly, compared to his younger
self at the same apparent age. (Metamorphosis)

2128

Travis Mayweather's family acquires the Horizon and takes up the life
of interstallar traders. He is probably born within the first year. Initially

escapes her. Upon return from her mission, she is so disturbed that she has
killed a man that she is sent to the monastary at P'Jem. When they are unable
to counsel her, they put her through a rritual that removes memory of the death
from her mind. She leaves Security and eventually ends up in the diplomatic
service. (The Seventh)
